What Makes Bookclub Enjoyable

The people, of course but  you have to check out this spread! You read a book. Or two. Discuss. Some people just hate the books chosen, and others love them. Tonight it was James Joyce Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. You read things you might not have picked.  We didn’t meet all summer.   Tonight it was at Joan’s- everything from her garden.  Heirloom tomatoes on homemade focaccia crust and a spinach golden raisin pine nut one. Oatmeal Crispies and a flavorful small watermelon.  Oh yes, the books. Sergio by Samantha Power and everyone had thumbs down for Little Bee by Chris Cleave.

The Gladiolas were from Joan's garden and the sunlight shone on them.
